Building a Practically Useful Theory of Goal Setting and Task Motivation -- A 35-Year Odyssey
, 2002
"... The authors summarize 35 years of empirical research on goal-setting theory. They describe the core findings of the theory, the mechanisms by which goals operate, moderators of goal effects, the relation of goals and satisfaction, and the role of goals as mediators of incentives.

Planning and acting in partially observable stochastic domains
- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
, 1998
"... In this paper, we bring techniques from operations research to bear on the problem of choosing optimal actions in partially observable stochastic domains. We begin by introducing the theory of Markov decision processes (mdps) and partially observable mdps (pomdps). We then outline a novel algorithm ..."

Do investment-cash flow sensitivities provide useful measures of financing constraints?
- QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 1997
"... No. This paper investigates the relationship between financing constraints and investment-cash flow sensitivities by analyzing the firms identified by Fazzari, Hubbard, and Petersen as having unusually high investment-cash flow sensitivities. We find that firms that appear less financially constra ..."

Most of the company’s funds are generated by operations and these funds grew at an average annual rate of 29 % [over
Attitude-Behavior Relations: A Theoretical Analysis and
- Review of Empirical Research, Psychological Bulletin
, 1977
"... Research on the relation between attitude and behavior is examined in light of the correspondence between attitudinal and behavioral entities. Such entities are defined by their target, action, context, and time elements. A review of available empirical research supports the contention that strong a ..."

A Model of Investor Sentiment
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 1998
"... Recent empirical research in finance has uncovered two families of pervasive regularities: underreaction of stock prices to news such as earnings announcements, and overreaction of stock prices to a series of good or bad news. In this paper, we present a parsimonious model of investor sentiment, or ..."

recruiting effort are abnormally low. Unemployment is determined by the rate at which workers lose jobs and the rate at which the unemployed find jobs. I develop a model of fluctuations with a matching friction and sticky wages. The incorporation of wage stickiness makes employment realistically sensitive
